Chapter 187 Nameless Grandmaster
"Oh... what's the matter?"
Li Yan frowned slightly, his eyes full of curiosity.
He really had nothing to do with this man. He was just ordered to lead the way. Could he also be looking for trouble?
Yu FengZi looked down the mountain, first let out a long sigh, then with a solemn expression, he cupped his hands and said, "I would also like to thank Jushi Li for showing mercy."
"To be honest, the Daoist you met at the foot of the mountain before, with the Daoist name Yu ChenZi, is my junior brother. He is actually not bad, but he comes from a humble background. He has read some Confucianism classics and pays great attention to hierarchy."
"A few months ago, he did something wrong, which made the master unhappy. He was punished to guard the mountain at the foot of the mountain. He was ordered to patrol the mountain, but he didn't even notice that Fei Yi appeared on the mountain. He even got into a conflict with a guest on the mountain... sigh~"
"Had it not been for the generosity of layman Li, I am afraid it would have caused a catastrophe."
"It's just a little effort."
Li Yan shook his head slightly, with a calm expression, "Everyone is born different and has different ideas. I don't take it to heart."
To be honest, the incident at the foot of the mountain actually made him experience a mental training. Coupled with the steepness and majesty of Huashan Mountain, it made him much broader-minded.
Naturally, I won't take such a small thing to heart.
"Jushi Li has a broad mind, but I cannot help but show it."
There was a hint of appreciation in Yu FengZi's eyes, and he said sincerely, "There is one more thing, layman, please don't blame me. The poor Divine Ability is Ear Mystical Power. You have all heard the previous conversation."
"Does Master Li want to forge weapons and magic weapons?"
After hearing this, Li Yan's expression did not change and he was not surprised.
After all, Divine Ability is good at investigating. There are many Xuanmen monks on Mount Hua, so it is not surprising to hear some words.
Since he dares to speak freely, he is naturally not afraid of being known.
Thinking of this, Li Yan nodded and said, "But I had this intention. I originally planned to ask someone to follow me up the mountain. After purchasing Spiritual Material, I then found a nearby place to forge the knife, but I didn't expect that the craftsman was sick, so I had to think of another way."
Yu FengZi raised his eyebrows, blinked and said, "Our Huashan is a treasure land of gold. In addition to spending money to open the cellar this time, most of it is metal. Spiritual Material. Pure Yang Palace Disciples practice swordsmanship, and craftsmen are indispensable."
"Li Jushi came to Huashan and asked a sideline craftsman to practice his sword. Isn't it unnecessary?"
Pindao has asked Junior Brother Yu HanZi to find a senior. If you want to practice swordsmanship, just come with me."
"Oh? That's a lot of work. Thank you, Daoist Master!"
Li Yan's eyes were full of surprise, and he quickly handed over his hands and thanked her.
"Don't be too hasty to thank me yet."
Yu FengZi frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "To be honest, the senior I found for you only lives in Huashan temporarily. Whether you can ask him to help depends on fate. If not, you can only find the swordsmith in the palace."
"Remember, after entering, don't ask any more questions, don't say too much anything. Whatever the seniors ask, you should answer honestly."
"Whether it works or not, everything depends on fate."
So angry?
Li Yan was surprised and became more and more curious.
What kind of craftsman is he? Even Pure Yang Palace has to be so respectful.
Yu FengZi said no more, and led him quickly to South Peak, and then went down the mountain several hundred meters to a mountain col.
I saw a waterfall here, with rapid water pouring down from a high place, splashing water, like smoke and fog, and making bursts of roar.
The surrounding tall pines and cypresses are lush and lush, and the branches and leaves are intertwined, forming a green sky. The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, and the light and shadow are mottled, just like a beautiful landscape painting.
There is a thatched cottage and a blast furnace beside the cold pond. It seems ordinary, but Li Yan is keenly aware that it is extraordinary.
The cold pool is water, the forge is fire, the thatched cottage is wood, and the ground is covered with five-color soil. If the gold used in forging is added, the five elements are complete.
Moreover, the layout was very particular. Although he could not see the key, he could smell the Gang Qi flowing around, creating a situation of its own.
Li Yan looked horrified,
This place is actually the location of Huashan Blessed Grotto-Heavens spiritual aperture!
Being able to occupy spiritual orifices, live in a house, and according to what Yu FengZi said, he is not Pure Yang Palace, so his status must be extraordinary.
On one side of the thatched cottage, the short and fat Yu HanZi was waiting anxiously.
Seeing the two of them arriving, he hurriedly ran forward and lowered his voice and said urgently, "Senior has already agreed, but he said he still wants to see the person. After Li Shi goes in, he must not ask any questions."
As he spoke, his expression was full of caution.
Such mystery makes Li Yan even more curious.
He slightly bowed his hands to the two of them and walked into the thatched cottage.
Inside the thatched house, the light is dim.
Li Yan I thought it was nothing at first, but as soon as I crossed the threshold, the hair on my body exploded, and I suddenly felt a Blade Light coming from the darkness and piercing my eyebrows.
This Blade Light is murderous, as if it wants to take his life.
Clang!
Li Yan couldn't help but wave his knife to block.
However, when he blocked the sword, it came up empty.
There was sweat on his forehead and he looked carefully, but there was nothing Blade Light there.
Just now, it was all my own illusion!
It was dim inside the house, with an oil lamp placed on a Tukang, and an old man sitting on the Tukang.
Although the light was dim, Li Yan could see clearly.
The old man was tall and it was freezing cold on the mountain, but he only wore a coarse cloth coat, and his muscles were all tangled, and his ribs were ribbed and sinewed.
The shape is weird, like a Vajra statue in a temple.
His facial features are sharp, his beard and hair are all white, and he does not know how old he is. His face is covered with wrinkles like ravines, and his white hair hangs down to his waist.
There was no Blade Light just now, it was just the other person's eyes!
What kind of old monster is this?!
Li Yan was shocked in his heart, and his mouth felt dry.
Just the look of your eyes can make people hallucinate. Even Pellet Strength masters can't do this method. Could it be Firm Strength?
Li Yan couldn't help but secretly pinch Yang Seal.
Sure enough, just like when I saw Jing XuZi before, I couldn't smell the smell of the old man at all.
Li Yan didn't dare to make any mistakes, pursed his lips tightly, and held his hands respectfully.
But just as he was about to speak, the old man on the bed made a hoarse and indifferent voice, "Stop talking nonsense, practice your swordsmanship, and do some boxing, I'll take a look."
"Yes."
Li Yan didn't dare to say anything, so he immediately took a deep breath to calm his mind.
Whoosh!
He suddenly drew the knife and swung it in a smooth motion.
What he practiced was Guanzhong Quick Saber, which was combined with the military sword technique passed down from his grandfather. The sword was powerful and focused on quick strikes.
I saw his figure flashing, Blade Light like snow, whistling like wind.
After the knife skills drill was over, Li Yan practiced the PIKA and Red Fist again. His fists and palms were flying, sometimes he used long strikes to hit far, sometimes he struck close to him, and there was a faint sound of thunder. His posture was strong and his momentum was like a rainbow.
Whether it's sword skills or boxing skills, Li Yan will go all out.
He once heard a legend that those powerful weapon forging masters all forged weapons according to their personal martial arts habits and personalities.
With weapons forged by such masters, it is easier to achieve the state of unity between man and sword during practice.
Now it seems that this is probably the case as well.
After practicing a set of sword skills and boxing skills, the old man narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and said hoarsely, "At your age, you can do it barely, but it doesn't insult my skills."
"Come forward, I'll take a look at your arm."
"Yes, senior."
Li Yan looked respectful, not daring to show any slightness, and walked forward in a few steps.
As soon as he got close to the Tukang, his shoulders were instantly clasped tightly by a pair of big hands. The movements were as fast as lightning, and he didn't notice it at all.
Before he could react, the old man's big hands began to pinch and measure. His palms kept changing, from shoulders to arms, wrists, and even palms and knuckles, all pressed one by one.
After doing this, the old man nodded slightly and asked, "What is the inheritance?"
"This... can be considered Living Underworld Messenger."
Li Yan was a little helpless. He demonstrated North Emperor Yin Thunder Palm, shook his head and said, "I only get the inheritance occasionally, and I don't know the origin."
His inheritance is too horrifying, and it concerns God Ascender. With this old man's level, he might know it, and even if he can't refine the sword, he can't reveal it.
After looking at it, the old man didn't say anything more. He just nodded lightly and looked at the hilt of his knife, Three Talents Demon Suppressing Coin Sword Tassel.
"Where did this come from?"
"Given by the imperial court, it is a family heirloom."
Seeing Li Yan surprised, a trace of nostalgia flashed in the old man's eyes, "This thing was forged by me Martial Grandfather. Think about it, so many years have passed..."
"Maybe it's fate that we meet again now."
"You practice Yin Lei, and your sword skills Killing Intent are perfect, and you are fierce. When you open the cellar tomorrow, there will be a Natural Treasures inside, which is Shoushan Copper Essence. It was struck by lightning for a hundred years and turned into Heavenly Spiritual Treasure. There is also incense Attendant in the cellar, which can be used to refine the sword."
"Also, there is a set of money in the cellar, named Twelve Yuan Chen. If you can get it, I can help you make this knife spike again."
After saying that, he waved his hand and motioned for him to leave.
It seemed like he didn't even bother to say anything anymore.
Li Yan didn't dare to ask any more questions, turned around and exited the thatched cottage.
After coming out, I suddenly felt the air was refreshing. After comparing the two, I realized how depressing the atmosphere inside was. A large area of my back was inexplicably wet.
Yu FengZi gave a signal, and the three of them didn't say much. They walked out for a long time. It wasn't until South Peak got on board again that Yu FengZi finally said, "Don't ask too many questions, and don't tell others."
Li Yan handed over his hands respectfully. "Thank you two Daoist priests."
Yu FengZi blinked and said meaningfully, "As long as you help Huashan solve the disaster, master will definitely agree to it if you ask for it. Pindao is just a reminder."
Li Yan understood instantly and thanked them again.
The next trip was much faster. Li Yan followed the two Daoists closely and walked all the way to West Peak.
This is where Lotus Peak is located. Because there is a huge stone on the top of the peak, its shape is like a lotus petal, so it is named Lotus Peak.
There is Axe-Split Stone on the mountain. Rumor has it that it was left behind by Agarwood when she rescued her mother...
There is also Jade Maiden Shrine. According to legend, Xiao Shi and Duke Mu of Qin's daughter Princess Nongyu got married here, and it is called the best bridal chamber in the world...
Of course, the more important thing is that Chongyang Palace stands here, which will be the place to open a cellar to buy treasures tomorrow. Inside Attendant is Great Emperor of the Western Mountain.
When Li Yan arrived, the rituals on the mountain were still in progress.
Many Pure Yang Palace Daoists solemnly went to the altar to pray, and there were many monks watching the ceremony, including orthodox believers and Dharma masters.
Many of them have a breath as deep as the sea and wear different clothes.
The whole scene is solemn and solemn, and awe-inspiring.
Li Yan frowned slightly, not wanting to cause trouble, and with other things on his mind, he turned back in a hurry, met up with Wang Dao Xuan and the others, and returned to Wangxian Temple together.
"Yan XiaoGe, why did it take so long?" Sha LiFei asked curiously, "Did you encounter something interesting?"
"Just walking around casually..."
Since I agreed to Yu FengZi, at least I couldn't talk nonsense on the mountain, so Li Yan had to be vague at first.
He blinked and gave a blurry look. Wang Dao Xuan and Sha LiFei immediately understood and asked no more questions.
Back in the room, Li Yan couldn't wait to take out a pen and paper, started writing and drawing, and planning what to buy tomorrow.
The first is spending money.
At first, he had no idea what the money was asking for.
Wang Dao Xuan has already planned, and needs a set of Demon Subduing Coin, Evil Expelling and Blessing Coin, and a set of Fifth Day Noon Hour Coin.
Some were used to make Coin Sword, while others were used to cast spells to suppress evil spirits. Lin Lin finally managed to get at least a hundred pieces.
At first, Wang Dao Xuan suggested that he also get a set of Demon Slaying Coin. Although it is not as good as Three Talents Demon Suppressing Coin, the two have similar auras and can also increase the power of the sword.
But with the guidance of the old man, Li Yan naturally set a goal, which is the set of Twelve Yuan Chen Coins.
But I think it must be worth a lot if it can attract the attention of the old man.
Then came metal.
For him, the main ones were the Shoushan Copper Essence pointed out by the old man, and the fifty pounds of white copper needed by Quan Wanzhong and Yuan Ba masters and disciples.
In addition, Sha LiFei also wants to do less.
This old boy felt itchy when he saw the bones of Lu San, and he also wanted to make a Flintlock Firearm that could use New-Style Gunpowder.
I just don't have a clue and want to prepare some materials first.
As for the rest, it is relatively simple, and they are all commonly used magic tools such as yellow paper, red rope, incense ash Treasure Candle.
Li Yan also plans to buy one for Wang Dao Xuan if he comes across something similar to Divine Tiger Token, so as not to always use disposable yarrow in the future, and it can be more powerful.
Before I knew it, I had written a whole page.
This does not include the magic weapon used by Building the Tower.
Seeing this, even if he has one hundred thousand silver, Li Yan just feels confused and wonders if the money is enough.
The next day, before dawn, everyone got up early.
Of course, because there are so many people, Pure Yang Palace stipulates that only one person from each team can be sent to South Peak to participate in the cellar opening ceremony.
Wang Dao Xuan and Sha LiFei were waiting at Chaoyang Peak, while Li Yan was filled with banknotes and followed Yu FengZi to Lotus Peak.
Compared to yesterday, there were obviously fewer people today.
The ritual is still being held, and the sky is just getting bright, and the sky above Lotus Peak is hazy. The morning wind is howling, and the surrounding sea of clouds is a little black and dim, which makes people feel like they have arrived in the netherworld.
Above the towering altar, Dharma flags are flying.
Many Daoists in gorgeous robes were chanting sutras, and the incense flames seemed to be unaffected by the wind, swirling and flying straight up.
At this moment, the sun emerged in the distance, as if a brilliant light tore through the darkness and illuminated the sky and the earth.
Many Daoists immediately stood up, waved Law Sword, and chanted mantras in unison.
Li Yan only felt his mind tremble. He could smell that with this pure Yang energy, using the altar as a pull, Innate Firm Qi on the top of Mount Huashan flowed and gathered on the side mountain wall.
He looked up and saw that the mountain wall there was densely covered with many holes, all sealed with soil and vaguely arranged in a Bagua shape.
The incense burner below is filled with green smoke and the incense ash is piled up into a mountain, just facing the first ray of morning light.
Finally, when the sun fully rose, the ritual ceremony was completely over, and the Innate Firm Qi on the top of Huashan Mountain was stabilized.
At the top of the altar, a Daoist priest looked solemn and said loudly:
"The auspicious time has come, let's open the cellar!"
The third update will be posted in half an hour
